I totally agree about the pins making a big difference while pinning patchwork. I started out with the serger pins when they first came out and have graduated to these pins for the glass heads. Love the control you get with them.

Thank you so much for posting this. I have been trying to find replacements for my 0.4 pins, but could only find 0.5 That little bit makes such a difference (for me anyway!) Now I know exactly what to search for.
|
I thought I had ordered these but when they came they said "quilting pin" and are .5mm. Where did you find them? Is there an online source as I don't have a source for good quilting supplies in my area.

Will check this out, thanks
|
Oh I will have to check these out at JoAnns this morning while I am there

It's not where I bought them (I live in the Netherlands), but even if you don't order them from Amazon, at least you'll know what you're looking for. |

I got new pins today - the Clover patchwork pins fine. They're 0.4 mm in diameter, instead of the 0.5 mm of the pins I was using before. You wouldn't think it would make such a difference, but it really does! My pinning is much more accurate, there's much less 'pull' on my fabric, and my sewing accuracy is improved by this. So happy I decided to listen to the advice I got about this!

i use the clover flower head pins extrea fine. they are blue with lighter blue on other side. Carol Doak suggested these for paper piecing. I have used them ever since. I have used the ones with yellow and blue glass head pins too but like the flower head ones better
|
I just really like the clover products, they have the best seam ripper ever in my HO. Will have to get me some of these pins. I am sure they be will great.

Thank you so much J. M. !

Clover's quilting pins are not the same as their patchwork pins, although both come in "fine." I know amazon.com has the ones you're looking for. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Clover-Patchwo...patchwork+pins
